Well, they have certain problems with France as well:

At least people are talking about the ad. That may be all they wanted...

Veer / Re: Disappearing payments at Veer ?
« on: May 10, 2011, 08:49 »
Customer support not responding seems to be a common problem. I had several emails, too, without response.

BTW, my earnings as well as my payments history has also disappeared.  >:(

ImagePro from Adpic Solutions:

They run their own agency (Adpic in Germany) using this software.

I had this too with one of my images - and I don't remember checking this check box, ever. Perhaps I did it by accident, I don't know.

I simply disabled the image. It took effect immediately, as far as I can tell.

There are editorial images of LV bags on Getty Images, like this one:

But it is connected with a specific place and occasion.

133
Didn't you say in the other thread that you only want a very specific type of drawings right now?

I m an illustrator, so I think itmight be even harder.

I think it will actually be easier. Illustrations are in good demand and your portfolio looks nice.

Perhaps they became aware how much those targets can tell about the sales performance of the different tiers.

136
They probably have the right to do so.

See this image of the Grande Arche in Wikipedia and the comments concerning copyright:

And this article explains that there is no 'freedom of panorama' in France:

General Macrostock / Re: microstock that offer RM?
« on: February 27, 2011, 05:48 »
Zoonar does offer RM.

138
I have only sold one vector file so far, and that was only a few hours after uploading on Fotolia. I have had some small success with photos on DT, but not any of my illustrations.

Try Shutterstock.

Illustration - General / Re: iStock Illustrators
« on: February 08, 2011, 10:21 »
If your Illustrations are good enough for Istock and you sell well...why don't you grow up to Macro?

What macro agencies are there for illustrations? I know only very few, and it seems questionable whether they do better than iStock.

I guess the programming expenses for the new upload system were deemed 'unsustainable'.  ;D

Shutterstock.com / Re: Does Shutterstock Employ Resellers?
« on: February 05, 2011, 05:27 »
I'm pretty much out of the microstock loop these days but do try and keep up with a few things. Am I missing something here? Is shutterstock now using a reseller? I have been on SS for a long time but have never known them to employ a reseller. See the link

http://www.ilovestockphoto.com/category/fooddrink/



This is just a referral link, not a reseller. It's legitimate as far as I know.
I am not aware that SS uses any real resellers, like FT and DT do.

Pixmac / Re: Pixmac no longer a partner?
« on: January 25, 2011, 06:08 »
There is a Forbes report about browser history sniffing that lists Pixmac (in addition to YouPorn and some other well-known sites) as one of the sites that actively use it to find out which other websites a user has visited.

Here is the link:

http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/2010/11/30/history-sniffing-how-youporn-checks-what-other-porn-sites-youve-visited-and-ad-networks-test-the-quality-of-their-data/

It doesn't seem to be illegal but it is probably worth knowing if you visit the site.

You are only talking about one of your suppliers. Why were the contracts with two suppliers canceled?

General Stock Discussion / Re: yuri interview on John Lund
« on: January 22, 2011, 13:20 »
Perfect illustration of why Thinkstock does not deserve our work.
It's on page 2, following your link. Didn't have to make a big effort to find it.

There is even another one on the same page. Uh.

General Stock Discussion / Re: yuri interview on John Lund
« on: January 22, 2011, 12:03 »
Well there's a bloke called Yuri Arcurs who has 25k images at TS for example;

http://tinyurl.com/yuriatTS



There's something strange up with that.  Many of those 25k images appear to be exact duplicates.  In just the first few pages there's a closeup of a blond girl holding out a cellphone that is repeated several times, and also a portrait of a dark haired bride, and a photo of a groom sitting at a table giving a thumbs down.  All appear to be from Hemera.  Wonder why there are so many repeats/identical (as opposed to similar) images...?


There are strange images in that collection, e.g. illustrations which I don't think belong to Yuri at all. And what are those Gorilla images?

Print on Demand Forum / Re: Zazzle, now also holding taxes
« on: January 22, 2011, 05:34 »
That is probably the way they look at it. Since they are selling tangible property which is not something you can download over the internet like microstock, then maybe this is considered royalties paid to you from Zazzle for sales they make. I don't know if that is why they do it this way or not, but that may be the difference. They aren't selling a license but a product.

This could be the key, yes. They are selling products which are made in the US, and which only use our images. Very different from microstock.
